The Hidden Causes of Tyre Failures in Brisbane + How to Avoid Them

Tyres rarely fail “suddenly.”
There are warning signs — tiny, sneaky issues that build up until your tyre gives up on life.

Let’s break down the hidden causes Brisbane drivers miss every day.

Cause #1: Sidewall Damage

Kerbs, potholes, speed bumps — they hit your sidewalls hard.
You might not see the damage, but the internal structure weakens.

This causes:

• Bulges

• Vibration

• Sudden blowouts

Oxley team checks this in 2 minutes.

Cause #2: Misalignment

If your wheels are not aligned properly, the tyre wears unevenly.
You’ll think your tyre is “fine” until one edge goes bald.

Brisbane roads + steep driveways = alignment changes often.

Cause #3: Potholes

We all know Brisbane potholes are basically mini swimming pools after rain.
Hitting one bends rims, splits tyre belts, and messes with suspension.

Cause #4: Wrong Tyre Pressure

Low pressure = sidewall strain
High pressure = blowout risk
QLD heat makes pressure fluctuate, so check often.
